Iris & Lily: The Complete Series (English Edition)

They grew up sharing everything. Their lumpy bed. Their secret fears. Their wildest dreams. So how could Iris and Lily end up so far apart as women?

Eye-opening and thought-provoking, this saga of two sisters from a chaotic family of fourteen will steal every reader’s heart. As the story of Iris and Lily Capotosti unfolds like a rare and delicate flower, the everyday dramas of domestic life are exposed with rare honesty and poignant humanity.

Is the quiet, studious, and eager-to-please Iris really luckier than the exuberant, talented, spitfire Lily, or does each sister create her own destiny? Are one sister’s memories of the past more accurate, or do they both cling to faulty versions of the stories which have influenced their choices and undermined their relationship for decades?

The endearing and poignant episodes of Iris and Lily’s coming of age in the midst of a tumultuous family and changing society of the sixties and seventies are both humorous and heartbreaking. Spanning the snow-covered streets of Upstate New York to the sun-kissed hills of the Italian Riviera, Iris and Lily take you on a rollercoaster of emotions as their relationship with each other, their husbands, and their birth family are put to the test. Every woman who has grappled with her past or struggled with flailing family relationships will relate to these sisters, share a giggle with them, shed a tear with them, want to scream at them, and always and above all urge them on. Because there is a bit of Iris and Lily in every woman.

Written by real-life sisters Angela and Julie Scipioni, this novel with its fresh yet classic style, its two distinct and genuine narrative voices topped off with an original epistolary layer, make it a literary achievement that is a treat to read.

A favorite with book clubs and perfect for lovers of family sagas and classic coming-of-age stories such as Little Women, The Thorn Birds and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, its unique, contemporary style sets Iris & Lily in a class of its own.
